Tech View :: What are key support, resistance levels for Nifty?

Nifty has shown a sharp recovery, rebounding to touch its 100-day moving average placed at 21,786 and closing above its 21-day EMA.

For a bullish or bearish outlook, it's crucial to monitor key levels. If Nifty sustains above its 21-day EMA or 22,500, a buy-on-dip approach is advisable. Currently, 22,400 acts as support, while 22,800 serves as the initial resistance for the Nifty index.
